The size is extremely subjective to your needs. My dad is amazed with his galaxy note and thinks the galaxy nexus is tiny. They're all thin and weighs nothing, so after you're past the "it looks dorky" phase, they feel great in your pocket and are much easier to use than smaller phones. For visually impaired people like my dad, the bigger screen was sent from heavens. But if that's not a problem, then it's not as useful.
